Thanks - that got things going for me.
Unfortunately it fails to complete the configure script due to the following
messages
...
checking for python... /usr/bin/python
checking Python installation directories... Traceback (innermost last):
File "<string>", line 1, in ?
ImportError: No module named distutils
Traceback (innermost last):

/usr/
checking how to link an embedded Python application... no
configure: error: Python Makefile not found
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.24266 (%build)
I'm not sure what those messages mean except that may be I need to upgrade my
python version.
I have previously built the Postgresql rpms from the source for version 7.3.4
without any problems on the this same machine.
Is there a minimum requirements list for building rpms from source anywhere - I
can't think of any other reason why it wouldn't complete?
Thanks again
